I'm really into Mr. Doob's new drawing experiments on Canvas
Playing Games on the Internet
We do a lot of regular research into online games. Here's what we've found interesting lately.
Captain Forever
Collect space debris, assemble an ad-hoc ship and get ready for battle. This reminds me a lot of the early stages of Spore, but it's in space, and much more fun. Nicely done.
Time Fcuk
2d puzzles solved by flipping colors. We liked the dark humor and music in this one.
Fatty Bum Bum
The illustrations & animations are crazy fun, but the gameplay is kind of frustrating.
The Space Game
Mine astroids, set up automated defense systems, manage energy grids and raw materials. This game of systems management and planning is a really addictive experience.
A brief note on the ecosystem of small online games. There is a ton of great games out there, unfortunately a lot of sites hosting these games are supported by a hodgepodge of distracting banner ads. I'm sure this will change over time as successful funding models emerge and audiences grow.
very clever
Over the top video for the band Omodaka about a dancing kappa.

I love this colorful brownian motion
Blobby empires falling apart. Made in Processing, turned into a video.
Faile Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade
We just finished installing a show at Lazarides Gallery for the artists Faile & Bast. In collaboration with TSFIM, we used assets from the artists to produce approximately 40 animations and interactive vignettes running on ten arcade machines. Faile & Bast covered the arcade machines, walls and basically everything in the gallery with wheat pasted crazy graphics.
So if you're around the Soho neighborhood in London check it out, the address is 8 Greek Street.

Line Drawings
Thanks to the Ben Flegg for sending us a couple sketches made all or in part with our line drawing javascript experiment.
Fun sound toy done with Processing.js
I've been following Aral Balkan's discussion on Adobe's strategy and I mostly agree with him (parts 2, & 3 are also good)
Stewdio's browser pong is pretty fun via
Beautiful but is it 3D or hand rendered? Actually it's hand altered printouts of a 3D animation
Julia Mandle dot Com
We launched a website an experimental performance/visual artist Julia Mandle last week. We collaborated on the identity design with the great Chad Kloepfer. This site was built on the Django framework with added lines doodles in Javascript (IE support via Silverlight & ExplorerCanvas).
